Max Major was able to stage a most stunning deception during the event where it looked as though he had hanged himself following the pulling of a handle by Kai Cenat, leaving viewers and guests in shock and concern.

This was different from prankmania. It was a premeditated action orchestrated by Max Major with the hope of forcing a specific choice from Cenat. This event caused outrage on diverse social media platforms, with most people condemning the so-called prank as too much.

Kai Cenat was unhappy, saying that Max Major refused to come back into the stream to explain what happened, an act that Kai described as selfish.

Controversies

In the summer of 2023, Kai went to Union Square, where he had promised to distribute PS5 consoles. Except, there were no required permissions obtained for the event. There were subsequently thousands of fans who stormed the area, which ultimately led to the violence.

Cenat was jailed and charged with mob instigating and unlawful assembly. Fortunately for Cenat, the case was finished in May of 2024 after he offered his sincere apologies and paid an amount that was more than $57,000 dollars.

In November 2024, magician and illusionist Max Major was a guest of Kai Cenat, and they hosted Mafiathon 2 stream. He created the illusion of his hanging with the help of a noose. It angered viewers and received backlash. Major subsequently confessed that it was just to frighten Cenat. Cenat, however, did not approve of Major’s performance, branding it as selfish’ and instead accusing him of insulting black people.

Later, Major admitted that this was not real but a prank designed to spook Kai Cenat. Cenat later addressed Major called him selfish for the act and accused him of making black people look terrible.
